Timer Options-useDefaultTimer

LabWindows/CVI

Timer Options—useDefaultTimer

You can configure LabWindows/CVI timer options in the Registry. The timer option, useDefaultTimer, is a REG_SZ value. You can specify True or False.

If you set the useDefaultTimer option to True, LabWindows/CVI uses the default Windows timer to implement the LabWindows/CVI timing-related functions, such as Timer and Delay. The default Windows timer provides a resolution of 10 ms.

If you set useDefaultTimer to False, LabWindows/CVI attempts to use the performance counter timer. The performance counter timer provides a resolution of 1 μs. If the performance counter timer is not available, LabWindows/CVI uses the multimedia library timer, which provides a resolution of 1 ms.

The default value for useDefaultTimer is False.
